Honeymoon in the mountains
My husband Ben and I love the mountains, so there was no question where we would go on our honeymoon. We were married on June 23, 2006, and we left the next morning for Banner Elk. We stayed on Sugar Mountain in a great cottage.
One day we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway and took many wonderful pictures. There was one particular spot that took our breath away. We just happened to find this stone ledge that overlooked some of the mountains along the parkway. The mountains reminded us of God’s power and splendor.
Ben and I also visited the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. It was so hot that day I didn’t think I could keep going as we walked around the huge estate.
We had a terrific honeymoon and cannot wait to visit again soon—next time when the leaves are changing.
